• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Here is the equipment i am dealing with...

3 windows XP systems
1 Mac OS 9 i believe
1 BEFSR41 Linksys router..
1 DSL Modem
Ok I have two seprate problems...

1. First off the computers will only recognize that the DSL connection when the DSL modem is connected to a regular port on the router. There is WAN port on the routher which is where it should be plugged into but it doestn work when i do that. Also there are 5 ports on the back no including the WAN port. The 5th port doesnt seem to want to work.

2. All three of the windows systems are working fine. The 4th mac isnt recognizing it. The mac will see the connection for a minute when i change settings sometimes but it will always drop it. How do i get the mac to get on the network and see the DSL connection.

I really need to fix this or my roomates will kill me.

Thx a lot!
 
Try to make sure that your PC's are set up for DHCP. Also, try to make sure that you've configured the router correctly for PPPoE, and don't use the PPPoE clients on the computers.
